# Burn(t) vs Alien High

The clearest difference is rating: Alien High at 4.0 against Burn(t)'s 2.4. Burn(t)'s advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 0%) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Burn(t) sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Alien High sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alien High holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Burn(t) has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Burn(t)'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Alien High's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Burn(t) ships an update every 12 months, Alien High every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
